Greetings, If I have a hunk that adds three lines, I can edit the hunk and remove the last line but I can't split it in two, stage the first part, edit the second part and remove the last line. An example: mkdir gittest cd gittest git init echo "baz\nbaz" > baz git add baz git commit -m baz baz rm baz echo "sur\nbaz\nbaz\njee\njee" > baz git add --patch Now say 's RET y RET e RET' and remove the second "+jee" line using your editor. The output for me looks like this: --8<----------------------------------------------------------------- diff --git a/baz b/baz index 1f55335..48a5f83 100644 --- a/baz +++ b/baz @@ -1,2 +1,5 @@ +sur baz baz +jee +jee Stage this hunk [y/n/a/d/s/e/?]? s Split into 2 hunks. @@ -1,2 +1,3 @@ +sur baz baz Stage this hunk [y/n/a/d/j/J/e/?]? y @@ -1,2 +2,4 @@ baz baz +jee +jee Stage this hunk [y/n/a/d/K/e/?]? e Waiting for Emacs... error: patch failed: baz:1 error: baz: patch does not apply Your edited hunk does not apply.
